As some of you may be aware I have been going through a difficult time of recent and, as a result, my compilation of statistics has taken a bit of a back seat.

As soon as I am able to I will return with monthly data and in the meantime I would ask that you bear with me.

Excellent August figures and if only for that month, LBA was the UKs 13th biggest airport based on passenger numbers.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Great figures, even with jet2 now at LPL for next summer im betting LBA will still be ahead esp when you look at the August figures above ( definitely summer months)
We are catching up on EMA and NCL but hopefully once the terminal improvements are completed or possibly even before who knows we may overtake these 2 airports, exciting times!
Not really LBA related but look how Edinburgh is now double the Glasgow figures, years gone by glasgow was the largest scottish airport

And before that Prestwick!

 

[Finger66]

Prestwick used to be the PIK of the bunch in Scotland

 

[rmac]

Only because it handled all the trans Atlantic traffic. Once that changed Glasgow benefitted. The decline of holiday flights, eg Britannia affected Glasgow whereas the increase in low cost, ie Ryanair meant that Edinburgh caught up and overtook Glasgow. Other factors as well, ---

Odd that DSA is even listed given that it's been shut for a year.

Another good month and 58k ahead of LPL so once again the UKs 13th biggest airport in the month. At this rate we may have to change the script on the LBA thread that still says we are the 14th biggest. Chances are the 4m passengers reference will need updating to 2023/4 too.

Obviously, LPL will do better next summer thanks to Jet2, but we have a slight increase in Jet2 ourselves plus Sun Express. So it could be fairly close next year. Let battle commence!

Perhaps once our terminal extension is complete and more apron capacity is available together with expansion from jet2, ryanair and the one im hoping for wizz who i feel could do good at LBA who knows we may hit the top 10 in 10th place, when you look at the current trend in the figures over the last 5 years or so LBA Is certainly seeing more growth.

DSA will keep appearing on the CAA lists because of the previous years numbers. I think once this year is over it won't appear on the CAA stats again unless the very slim chance it does reopen.

 

[Seasider]

I would imagine that November would be the last month it will be included as Nov '22 was the last time any pax used DSA.

 

[Scottie Dog]

My apologies for the delay, but I am now slowly catching up - not helped by my laptop catching a virus!!

A comparison of September data for September 2019-2023 is now available at https://forums4airports.com/threads/5728/

This will be updated each month when the CAA releases its figures.

Passenger figures for the 2023/24 fiscal year up to and including w/e 10/12/23 are 3,311,962, which is an increase of over 400,000 on the same period last year.

With just short of 4 months to go, exceeding 4m is a realistic proposition.
